Dairy Intolerance: Between 30 and 50 million Americans suffer from dairy intolerance, which leaves them unable to enjoy dairy products or benefit from the many nutrients found in them.

Digest To The Max™ contains a blend of lactase and fungal proteases that is designed to bring relief from the digestive malady known as dairy intolerance. It is an enhanced formula that targets milk fat digestion in addition to dairy intolerance.

Dairy intolerance is typically associated with symptoms of nausea, bloating, cramping, gas and diarrhea after intake of dairy products. Dairy intolerance comprises two parts: lactose intolerance (milk sugar) and milk protein intolerance. Lactose intolerance occurs when the body cannot produce the enzyme lactase in the quantities needed to break down lactose. The incomplete digestion of proteins found in milk causes milk protein intolerance. The symptoms of nausea, cramping, bloating, gas and diarrhea that accompany dairy intolerance are typically self-diagnosed as lactose intolerance, so much so that the two terms are often considered synonymous. Many health care practitioners will confirm that the terms dairy intolerance and lactose intolerance are usually not interchangeable and that many episodes of dairy intolerance are insufficiently treated as a lactose-only condition. Many people suffering from dairy intolerance use lactase-only products for relief but find them ineffective. This often means eliminating dairy products is their only option.

This product is a super combination of lactase and proteases designed to comprehensively treat dairy intolerance. The lactase will digest lactose and the proteases are optimized to break down milk protein. Studies show that the proteases in Biocore® Dairy are vastly superior in hydrolyzing ß-lactoglobulin to either pepsin or pancreatin. One dose of Biocore® Dairy digests all the lactose and milk protein found in one cup of whole milk.

Gluten intolerance: Certain peptide sequences resulting from the partial digestion of gluten proteins have been linked to the exacerbation of gastrointestinal conditions caused by autism spectrum disorders and irritable bowel diseases. One of the enzyme activities required to break down these peptides has been identified as dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV). The lack of this enzyme activity in the small intestine due to the above conditions prevents the digestion of these peptide fragments. These peptide fragments, if left undigested, are thought to elicit immune responses that can inflame the lining of the small intestine. It is a proprietary formulation of proteases.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a collection of chronic disorders that include Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and celiac disease. A pro-inflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor (TNF-), plays an important role in many forms of IBD. Research has shown that the proteases in Biocore® DPP IV may help selectively cleave and inactivate TNF- in vitro.

This unique product meets the needs of individuals that experience difficulty digesting dairy products or who have diets high in dairy.Take our advanced Digest To The Max™ to help digest gluten and dairy, which can help you stay healthier.
